I thought that the play design was actually pretty good. It should have left Yoder or Davis wide open.

The problem was that it was a surprise play and the element of surprise was lost with the timeout we took. To me, it was a good play that was very poorly implemented.

To answer the question asked above, the swinging gate has been implemented successfully many times. My own high school team defeated our arch-rivals with the play. But in the NFL it is only going to work when combined with the element of surprise.

Two main points:
1) EVERYONE knew what they were doing after the timeout. No suprise = don't try it again. Dumb call Zorn.

2) If we were set on going for it, why not get your QUARTERBACK to throw the ball into the endzone with a real play?? Do you really think Hunter Smith is a better passer (*without* an offensive line??). Give JC a chance!!!
